PERFECT! Thanks! This is exactly what I needed! Do you know of any groups/people in FL that have started a movement already? This article suggests to do a thorough search to see if there are any others. I’m just not sure where to start on that either. :-/

You could try doing a Google search for cottage food law petitions. I don’t know of anyone currently working on Florida’s law.
